Chapter 526: Cut the Gordian Knot

Seeing that fourth grandfather finally addressed the key point, Ruan Lijia got excited. Her two small hands tightly clasped together, and her eyes fixed on the reaction of Ruan Qishan.
When she noticed that Ruan Qishan did not refute the words of fourth grandfather and began to ponder, Ruan Lijia knew that there could be a chance.
In fact, even if fourth grandfather didn’t bring it up, Ruan Qishan was already considering this himself. Moreover, people from outside had also suspected this consideration from Ruan Qishan, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many people inviting the Ruan Family out for dinner and trying to market their own daughters.
The minds of these people were the same as Ruan Guofu’s. It didn’t matter if their daughter couldn’t be with Ruan Zeyan officially. In the future, if they could give birth to a son, it was only a matter of time before they could drive away the infertile Ling Tianya.
Wang Yazhi’s lips were sealed but her heart was aching. She knew that Ling Tianya could not escape this fate. Her Yaya was such a strong-willed woman, how could she tolerate sharing her man with other women? In doing so, even if they were not forcing Yaya and Zeyan to divorce, it was the equivalent of driving Yaya away. Yet at this crucial time, Zeyan was not here…
Wang Yazhi was anxious as she looked at Ruan Qishan with earnest eyes. She wanted grandchildren, but she wanted for Yaya and Zeyan to be happy even more.
Ruan Qishan sighed and then said, “Fourth uncle, it’s not that I have not considered the thing that you said. I have already started looking for candidates. However, my daughter-in-law was just discharged from the hospital and it was not long before she got the bad news. It will be very inappropriate to talk to her about such a thing right now. And I’m afraid she won’t agree to it easily. It’s better to wait for Zeyan to come back and talk to him first, then to Tianya.”
“Qishan, with a matter like this, you should just cut the Gordian knot,” fourth grandfather said anxiously. “While Zeyan is not here, we should speak with your daughter-in-law first. It may be easier that way. Maybe your daughter-in-law is a clear-minded person and will understand our difficulties. She may agree to it or simply leave on her own. But if we wait to talk about it after Zeyan comes back and if he doesn’t agree, we will be in an underhanded position, won’t we? Qishan, Zeyan is not young anymore. If it was anyone else, his children would already in schools. He wasted six years to be with Ling Tianya and almost died back then fighting with the family. It is reasonable to say that he has done enough for her. Now that Ling Tianya is infertile, can we let her ruin Zeyan’s whole life again?”
The words of the fourth grandfather sent Ruan Qishan into a deep contemplation. Then he finally nodded. “Fourth uncle, you are right. We should start by speaking to Tianya. Only if Tianya agrees will Zeyan agree.”
A smile climbed onto fourth grandfather’s face. He looked over at Ruan Lijia who was sitting nearby. “As far as the next woman is concerned, you should not bother to look outside. Don’t we have a suitable candidate in front of us?”
Ruan Qishan followed the eyes of fourth grandfather and saw Ruan Lijia who was sitting very properly. He seemed quite in shock. “Lijia?”
Ruan Lijia shyly bowed her head, trying to look as feminine as possible when she responded, “Big uncle…”
Ruan Qishan couldn’t seem to compute in his head. “But… Lijia is the daughter of Guofu… Isn’t this incest?”
Fifth grandfather, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. “How is this incest? Lijia is the adopted daughter of Guofu, and she has no blood relationship with Zeyan. So, it is not incest.”
Seventh grandfather also nodded in agreement. “And Lijia grew up in the Ruan Family. You could say that she and Zeyan grew up together. She is different from those uncultured women outside. She is a polite and educated girl. She and Zeyan would be great together.”
